hello. This is Tacnoology Today Now. This article is about the release date of the Galaxy S25.
Galaxy S25 series is expected to be officially released on February 7th next year
To tell you the previous news, the Galaxy Unpacked, which is expected to be unveiled in the Galaxy S25 series, will be held in the U.S. on Jan. 22 and 3 a.m. Korean time on the 23rd. And according to a recent exclusive report by local media outlet Financial News, pre-orders for the Galaxy S25 series will run from Jan. 24 to Feb. 3 after the Unpacked, and will be officially released in Korea from Feb. 7 after being opened to pre-orders from Feb. 4.
The reason for this schedule is that the Lunar New Year holiday is sandwiched between Jan. 28 and Jan. 30, the last week of January. Therefore, the week with the Lunar New Year holiday seems to be skipped and officially released on Feb. 7. The global launch date is also expected to be after Jan. 22 and early February.
Upgraded Specifications
Financial News also summarized the Galaxy S25 series information that has been leaked so far.
Chipset
- The Galaxy S25 series is likely to be fully equipped with Qualcomm’s latest chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
- This seems to be a solution to the supply issue of Samsung’s own chipset, Exynos 2500.
RAM and storage capacity
- Ultra models: 16GB RAM + 512GB or 1TB storage
- This is the first time in about four years that Samsung has 16GB of RAM on its Galaxy S series since the Galaxy S21 Ultra launched in 2021, which appears to be expanding its RAM capacity to enhance multitasking and on-device AI driving capabilities.
Camera performance
- Ultra-wide-angle lens: 50-megapixel improvement from existing 12-megapixel
operating system
The Galaxy S25 is expected to be equipped with OneUI 7.0 with enhanced Generative AI and security.
When is the Galaxy S25 Slim release date?
In addition to the existing regular, plus, and ultra models, the Galaxy S25 series is expected to add slimmer models. It is the first time in 11 years that Samsung has released a slim Galaxy S model since the Galaxy Alpha (6.7mm), which was launched in March 2014.
It’s not certain yet, but it could be revealed at next year’s Unpacked event, and although we don’t have any specific information about the thickness yet, it’s expected to be thinner than the regular Galaxy S24 (7.6mm). The decoration launch will only be briefly revealed at the Unpacked in January, and the official launch will likely take place a few months later.
Finalize
So far, we have provided news regarding the Galaxy S25 release date. However, the problem is the price. Since the won-dollar exchange rate has recently risen to 1,450 won, this may affect the increase in domestic shipping prices. Moreover, if the cost of purchasing Qualcomm’s mobile AP is added, Samsung Electronics’ cost burden is expected to increase significantly. Still, if the cost burden is reflected in the factory price, there are concerns that sales will be sluggish due to price resistance, so I hope the price will be raised slightly.
